History
In the arrival of Dolchic settlers to modern-day Dolchland, the region which would become Vethringen was universally colonised by the Vetter tribe or tribal confederation. They consolidated relatively quickly, establishing an ancient kingdom in 495. The Kingdom would come to be bordered by the ($EMPIRE) rising in the west, and seeing potential in joining with this new power, renounced their Kingly title to join as vassals to the Empire, and became the early Archduchy of Vethringen. This state continued until 1617, when the Vethringen Succession War broke out, with two rival factions, the Legitimists ruling from Greifsdorf, who had selected a cousin of the outgoing Archduke who was of the house Ausburg-Vethringen to rule, and the Nachfolgists, ruling from Ritterburg, who had selected the legitimised bastard son of the outgoing Archduke to rule. The war resulted in somewhat of a stalemate, though the Legitimist cause was supported by the Ausburg Emperor, and so the title of Archduke remained with the Legitimist ruler, who formed the Archduchy of Greater Vethringen, while the Nachfolgists formed the Duchy of Lesser Vethringen.
Government and Politics
The Archduchy of Greater Vethringen is governed by the Archduke, Johann II of the House of Ausburg-Vethringen, as the main authority in all internal Matters. As part of the Empire of Dolchland the Archduke has sworn loyalty to the Emperor and the Empire and to protect the borders of the Empire if the call such arrises. The Archduchy also has a Minister-President or a Prime Minister that forms a Government in the name of the Archduke from the Parliament of the Archduchy of Greater Vethringen.
